Comic Roseanne Barr mouthed off recently about her observations of the gay community's so-called lack of interest in issues that do not further the gay agenda. According to the blog LeftInSF.com, Barr was a phone-in guest on lesbian activist Jasmyne Cannick's radio show on Loma Linda, Calif., station KCAA. Barr claimed that in her lifetime she has never heard a politically active gay or lesbian individual champion an issue outside of the gay cause.
"They don't care about minimum wage. Tthey don't care about any other group other than their own selves because, you know, some people say being gay and lesbian is a totally narcissistic thing, and sometimes I wonder," she said on the show. "I've never heard any of them say anything except for 'Accept me 'cause I'm gay.' "
Barr went on to compare the gays to religious evangelicals.
"They want you to accept Jesus, and you guys want us to all believe it's OK to be gay," she said. "And a lot of us, a lot of them--I do. I don't give a damn who anybody has sex with as long as they're not underage and an animal. I don't give a damn. It's none of my damn business. I'm just sick of all the divisiveness. It's not getting any of us anywhere." (The Advocate)
